| Per-order part | 30¢ × 100 = $30.00 | 30¢ × 100 = $30.00 | none (published as 2.9% flat) |

ViaMeet and Luma process cards through Stripe at its published 2.9% + 30¢ per order; Eventbrite publishes 2.9% per order with its per-ticket amount inside its own fee. Rates vary by card and country; illustrative.
Spaces
Guests pay the operator's listed price and nothing more. An event held in a ViaMeet space carries two separate, honest numbers: the room, at the operator's price, and the tickets, at 3%. Neither is charged twice.
